What We've Learned With The Decision 2.0

It's been a few days since LeBron James' ground breaking announcement heard around the world. Though we've had some time to let in sink in, some still remain shocked. Four years ago, millions of Cavaliers' fans got their hearts torn apart when one of their own had announced he was taking 'his talents to South Beach.' It seemed nothing could be said or done to re-write that 'wrong' in the eyes of many. Two weeks ago no one believed James would ever consider leaving Miami when he and his two brothers, Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh had all decided to opt-out of their final two-years of their deals. As Friday afternoon rolled around, it became forever known as one of the biggest days in sports history. LeBron had announced via an essay on Sports Illustrated.com that he would indeed return to where it all started, the city of Cleveland.
